There was a spectacular sunset on Sunday evening and a fun-filled evening of trivia as the Drovers Campfire weekend ended for 2023.

Organisers and volunteers have worked very hard for many weeks and with the support of sponsors, along with numerous volunteers from Boggabri community groups and volunteers from Lions Club members from all over the state, Drovers Campfire has once again been a highly successful and enjoyable event.

Clifford Toomey performed the Welcome to Country and Richard Gillham opened the event on Friday saying how happy the committee were to welcome everyone back to Boggabri.

More than 200 caravans are expected to roll into Boggabri Showground this weekend as the Drovers Campfire makes a long-awaited return.

The event was started by the Boggabri Lions Club in 2006 and had grown in popularity and attendance each year, until COVID put a hold on things.

The Boggabri Lions Club organising committee is thrilled that the event has attracted such a strong interest with its return, held from Friday, April 28 to Sunday, April 30.

The 2017 Boggabri Lions Club Drovers Campfire from April 28-30 has again been a huge success with 300 vans attending.

A mixture of caravans, motor homes and campervans filtered into the showground.

Visitors turned out by the hundreds for the 2017 Boggabri Drovers’ Campfire last weekend. Caravans, campers and day visitors flocked to Boggabri Showground to for a look at the award-winning annual event
